Data Exchange Modules, Computing Products, Network Cards & Test Tools

We have developed computing and communications modules for Rockwell Automation controller platforms from PLC-5 through ControlLogix. We also have experience with a wide range of network protocols including EtherNet/IP; Modbus TCP/IP and Siemens Industrial Ethernet. As part of Softing, we've expanded into Network Test Tools.

Appliance Transaction Manager

Appliance Transaction Modules

Designed for Enterprise-to-Controller or Controller-to-Controller data exchange. Set-up of tag/array data transfer is done graphically via configuration software. Once completed, the modules alone handle all data exchange - no other software is required.

Network Cards

The PCI ControlNet is an extended temperature version of the 1784-PCIC ControlNet Card. It supports redundant media and can be run continuously in a 90°C environment.

High-temperature network card for PCI Express (PCIe) »

The high temp PCI Express card with redundant media support for ControlNet was specifically designed for use in Allen-Bradley 6181 Integrated Industrial Computers with PCI Express (PCIe) bus slots.

Network Test Tools

Cable certifiers allow installers and control engineers to quickly analyze and troubleshoot their Ethernet cabling installations. Softing's most advanced certifier, the WireXpert 4500 tests systems to the highest levels quickly and easily and includes options for various types of media and connectors.

WireXpert 4500 is the only network cable certification platform with the Dual Control System -- graphical displays at both ends of the cable. WireXpert tests and certifies Industrial Ethernet network cabling performance up to 2500 MHz to globally accepted standards. With its RJ45 and M12 D-coded connection kits, it supports the most widely used industrial connector types.

Embedded I/O Modules for DeviceNet

Softing 1799 Embedded I/O modules offer an off-the-shelf solution for OEM machinery and conveyor applications. These board-level products allow you to buy just what is needed for an optimum I/O system connected via DeviceNet.
